I have held onto more than one secret
Many times I have held onto pride
From the creases of old, ancient stories I hold
Dating back to the beginning of time

I have held out hope in the moment
Right as despair enters the room
I have held my breath in things left unsaid
In hopes that they never ring true

I have held hard to the passing memories
Of those that have gone before me
Love at all cost is love never lost
Even when it's been set free

Yet the best in life I have found to be held
When you finally pull back the cover
From mornings first light to the last sliver of night
Is in the grandeur of holding each other
